D3 Milos is the choice for travellers who want to stay in the hilltop capital rather than at the port. Located in Plaka, it is among the most expensive stays on the island, which reflects its position, its design and its facilities: guests mention multiple pools, a rooftop terrace and sweeping sea views, and the property has one of the highest ratings among local hotels, with reviewers highlighting the staff and management. Staying in Plaka means you can walk to the Kastro for sunset, stroll the lanes in the morning and return to your terrace in the evening, and the nearby Archaeological Museum, the folklore and ecclesiastical museums and the village restaurants are on your doorstep. Trypiti, Klima and the catacombs are a short walk or drive away, and Adamas is a short drive down the hill. The atmosphere is quieter and more refined than the port, and many guests stay several nights to enjoy the pool and the views. It is a particularly good choice for honeymooners and couples who want a stylish, upscale base in a traditional village setting, with the option of a rental car or taxi to reach beaches.
Location tips
Plaka's centre is mostly pedestrian, so confirm how to reach the hotel with your luggage and where to park or be dropped off. The village is hilly, and some paths have steps, so tell the hotel if you have mobility needs. Evenings are lively around the central square, and some bars have music, so ask about room positions if you are a light sleeper.
Pools and views
The property is known for several pools and a rooftop terrace, which are the places to be at sunset. Check which facilities are open in spring and autumn, since some island hotels operate seasonally. Many guests plan a late afternoon swim, then walk to the Kastro for the sunset and return for dinner or a drink on the terrace. Breakfast is served in the morning, often on a terrace with a view.
Who it suits
Couples, honeymooners and design-minded travellers who value atmosphere and a village location over beach access. It is less convenient for those who plan lots of beach days, since the nearest beaches are a short drive away. Without a car, you can use taxis, buses to Adamas and organised tours, and Plaka has its own shops and restaurants.
Because of its high prices and limited number of rooms, reserve well ahead for July, August and September. Confirm cancellation terms, what the rate includes and the local taxes payable on arrival, and ask about transfers from the port or airport.
